Embarrassing failure! !

After watching "Dragon Tiger Gate", I feel a little bit embarrassed. The embarrassing thing is that I really don’t know how to evaluate this movie. This movie is a somewhat strange and extreme hybrid. The two components of this hybrid. The extreme is-excellent martial arts and extremely poor literary drama. Yes, that’s right, excellent martial arts and terrible martial arts. Most of the time I have to endure these very poor martial arts in order to watch those excellent martial arts. As for thinking about re-watching it again, I feel a little uninterested.
Wuxi is good because the film has an excellent action director-Donnie Yen, who is also one of the main actors in the film. I know that Yen Zidan has been almost ten years old. At that time, I was a junior high school student and watched the TV series "Jing Wu Men". He played Chen Zhen in it. He thought his movements were strong enough and his posture was cool enough, so I remembered him. In recent years, he has acted in movies such as "Hero" and "Slaying the Wolf". The performances and action scenes are quite good. It should be regarded as another very outstanding action star after Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li.
The literary drama is very bad, and it can even be said to be bad. There are many reasons. For example, it is like a cliché. The basic story is that bad people do evil, good people do good, bad people kick good people’s halls, kill good people, and still don’t understand how to cut grass and roots. As a result, the surviving good people learned great abilities and then took revenge. The bad guys were destroyed, justice was done, and some emotional plots such as brothers and sisters love and love, prodigal sons and brothers met. I don't even bother to fill in the name of this kind of plot, because there are too many stories of this type, except for the different names, everything else is the same. Of course, there are many movies with old-fashioned plots, and many of them are not annoying. This depends on the skill of the director and screenwriter. Knowing the old-fashioned plots, you must use your strengths and avoid weaknesses. If the martial arts are wonderful, you must focus on martial arts services. Dispensable, the audience will definitely be annoying to delete as soon as they look at it. Keeping it will also lower the average score of the whole show; the plot is boring, so you should pay more attention to the dialogue, speak more interestingly, don’t be confused. The lines in the clouds and clouds in the mist make you dizzy when you hear them. The plot that could have been very clear at first was messed up. It’s a pity that the literary play of this play didn’t do that. The lines were so silly and the same as chewing, and the plot was terrible. The thing I couldn’t tolerate was that the characters in each play started posing as soon as they appeared on the scene. I don't say anything in the silly, and it's deadly rigid. I feel like I'm looking at paintings and posters instead of watching sports videos. Of course, this is just literary play.
Several male protagonists in the play-Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, and Shawn Yue are still good. Of course, this is because there are martial arts to give them points, and the literary drama is still poor. The heroine is much more miserable. There is no martial arts, and the literary drama is so boring, of course, the score can't be as high. Dong Jie is basically a relatively qualified vase. Li Xiaoran is a bit horrible. She doesn't seem to be suitable for a coquettish and sexy role like "Rosa". She should be more suitable for a pure route, such as "Like Fog, Rain and Like An Qi in "Wind", or a lively and cheerful girl, such as Yang Xi in "Farewell, Vancouver". The number of paths is wrong and the plot is boring. It's a failure!
